Bar-worker

You have lived a steady live, working at an inn, a bar, or a tavern. You know the drill of the usual drunkards, brawlers and small parties that frequent your workplace. You have poured many a drink, served meals and even from time to time handled the occasional troublemakers.

Whether you had build your own bar from a monetary loan, your family owns the bar at which you have worked, or you just found work there for the sake of making money (perhaps there were problems finding work other places), you have worked there for a while. You know the routine and how to handle situations at the workplace. Typically, the bar-worker is the one that hears the most tales from travelers and people, especially with the downtrodden seeking comfort at the bottom of a tankard. They all confide in the bar-worker, and the bar-worker can typically provide with tales and gossip.

Your call to adventure could be conscription, but it could also be, if there were a special delivery that your bar sought out, but were missing. The bar at which you worked might also not exist anymore (if could be burned down or you could have been evicted). Maybe your call for adventure have been co-in-sided with a troublemaker seeking vengeance on you for kicking them out of your bar.
